Thanks man ! Having time helps...

The female Pelvicachromis must have eaten the eggs? She has wandered the tank for 2 days ,with no sign of fry in tow or hidden. Spotted her in all three caves over the last 2 days but no fry /wigglers/or eggs in any?
So tonight when I was sure their were no fry in the cave with her I snapped her and cave up and moved her back to her original home the 29..It is different now and she is alone so I expect all may be well.. At least with the male gone I am not stuck with a 'plain Jane ' female fish.. She is beautiful...

Glad I took the first two spawns now for sure though...

So I think tomorrow I will move her oldest fry into the 20 she was in. The water matches and I will change 50-75% anyways.. This will help them keep growing quickly and with any luck I will have a breeding pair again soon ..
That will free up a tank for fry from 12/2 to come out of their dip and pour...
Got another set of angel eggs but the jury is still out? 40% of the eggs seem to turn white in 24 hours after I took them indicating to me not fertilized...
This pair is very random and I am glad I have the juvis from them I do. I left these eggs with them for aday after I first saw them so they should have had time to be fertilized...
Apisto bitaeniata spawned again ,but very low number of eggs . I count 19 wigglers.. Only 3 of the previous batch survived .. They are in the 1.9g with their oldest brothers and sister...They are meeker feeding then the Pelvicachromis second batch next door that eat like it is a contest !
Moved the first and second spawn from the balloon male ram into a 5g tank today.. Interested to see if any are balloon..
And finally may have a chance to try to promote genetic further then with many rams. One of the original 3 pairs from the EBR/GBR cross lost his mate. I thought for a week about what to do.. Can't sell him as most are monogamous and did not want to just euthanize him so I found a 'maturing' female from a spawn of his brother and sister !!! So if these two breed the outcome should be very colorful ? She is much smaller then him but so far he seems to be liking her nicely.. She will grow fast in a tank with only herself and him compared to the group she had to contend with...
